Sun-exposed bulrush at dawn [lying] by Affect Fotografie

October and March are months when the stream valley in Helvoirt Broek is filled with dew early in the morning at sunrise.
The rising sun provides the dew in the valley with a golden orange glow.
This early in the morning, everything is still quiet. Trees and shrubs in the distance fade into the fog while the bulrushes in the foreground stand out sharply against it.
A dreamy atmosphere of mother nature.

Real encounters with people all over the world have attracted me from childhood. Traveling uninhibitedly unknown countries and continents and making contact with their residents. Those contacts with people in other parts of the world have taught me that the basic emotions of all people are the same. Unknown makes unloved? No, unknown makes me 'curious' about 'that other', the unknown. Establishing contact with people whose language I often do not speak has led to beautiful photos in which mutual respect is expressed and where barriers are eliminated by that contact. You will find some selected photos from my large collection on this site.

In my opinion, open, interpersonal contact is always possible, no matter how different the circumstances of those unknown people and their culture may be. My travels have also led to a special project: the collection of discarded glasses in the Netherlands and other Western countries and the distribution thereof to people in other places in the world who, due to circumstances, cannot get their glasses.
Just Google for 'brillen voor zanskar' and you will see how something as simple as that project brings people together.
